4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
750 bottle, this was a big sour bomb. Like warhead camdy. Huge raspberry on nose and flavor shared with huge tartness .A lot of funk in there too but not overwhelming the fruit which I love. NICE!!
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours ruby red with pink head. Aroma is sharp raspberries and moderate funk. Taste is extremely tart and vinegorous with a nice finish of fresh sweet raspberries. A bit too sour for me but still very good.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours red with a blush head. Nos is bright lemony tartness, some acetic acid, fresh raspberries, oak wine barrel character and a nice funky barnyard Brett stuff going on. Flavor is lactic acids, blended acetic qualities raspberry flavor is there but somewhat muted, mild funk and medium oaky wine character. dry tart finish. carbonation is bright and lively. I prefer the fruit additions to be more in your face but otherwise pretty nice. Acids are well balanced and the Brett qualities are limited. Nice sour otherwise.

Bottle. Strong raspberry and musty malt aroma. Cloudy dark red color with large but short-lasting head. Sweet-tart raspberry and musty malt flavor. Moderate carbonation. Excellent.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
bottle. Packed with sweet fruit, some of esters taste a bit fake. Yeasty and some barnyard funk. Sweet. Touch of butter. Sweet and well balanced with enough acidity and lively carbonation to keep things interesting.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Strong raspberry aroma almost overripe just very fresh fruit aromas. The beer pours dark red with no head. Nice soft fruit upfront then a 2x4 of sour hits you in the face. Bracingly tart raspberry very acidic with strong raspberry in the finish as well. Best Upland lambic yet!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
2011-11-19. Dark red body, small pink head. 3+ Raspberry flavour is very tart-sour, bit of leafy raspberry and raspberry seed. 7+ Interesting raspberry character in the aroma, fairly sweet, some leafy notes, green notes that I can’t place. 7+ Average palate is quite carbonated. Enjoyable. Bottle from Upland via sprinkle, shared at Rudolf’s Sourfest 2011
"So this beer..."
"...is not as good as your Mom’s vagina???"
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
(750ml bottle. Batch 52-09, bottles on 3.7.11). Pours a clear dark pine color with pinkish head. Carbonation is quite active, but no gusher problems here. Aroma is sweet and tart raspberries and some funkiness. I can smell the raspberry even when the glass is not in front of me. Taste is sour and puckering with some sweetness coming from the fruit. Has some sweet tarts characteristics. Medium bodied and oily. Finish is very dry. This is just a fantastic beer and the more I have Upland’s lambics, the more I like them. Great job!
